The Grey Eagle Music Hall and Pub

I love going to shows at the Grey Eagle. There is plenty of free parking around. The staff is pleasant, the bathroom is very clean and stocked, and the bar is quick and happy to answer questions. I have seen so many great acts here, Alex Cameron, The Cactus Blossoms, and Chuck Ragan to name a few. I never have a problem getting super close to the stage for a good view. The sound crew do an excellent job. The music comes first, always!! I'd be insane to skip a show at the Grey Eagle.

I came here for my first burlesque brunch! It was sooooo much fun!! We got there about 30 min before start time to get some food. The brunch tacos were heaven! I ended up getting two lol. And then the show was just spectacular. A great MC, sexy performances and just good vibes all around. I cannot wait to come back to see another show when I’m back in Asheville!

Great venue for live music and events. A friend and his band were playing an early evening show on the patio and it was a great spot. There was an event immediately after, and we were pretty quickly ushered out to make room, which was fine, but the attitude of a few of the staff could have been a bit kinder about it.

Super small venue, little pizza spot attached is great, sound is awesome. Coming here from Denver and Vegas before that I have wildly different expectations but the venue, and more importantly the crowds, are wonderful out here!! Can’t wait to come back for many more shows, already have some tickets booked. Video I took is from The Dirty Nil Jan 2025

Really good venue for shows. A little something for everyone; food, outside, bar, music hall. Definitely coming back

I’ve lost count of how many nights I’ve spent at The Grey Eagle—dozens, maybe hundreds—and every single one reminds me why it’s my favorite room in Asheville. The talent buyers are absolute wizards: again and again I catch a band here, only to watch them pack out the Orange Peel or Salvage Station on their next pass through town. If you love discovering music before everyone else claims it, this is your spot. What sets The Grey Eagle apart isn’t just the ear‑to‑the‑ground booking. It’s the way the place feels built for people who actually listen. The room is intimate enough that the smallest nuance in a singer’s voice lands, yet the sound system can still rattle your ribs when the amps crank up. Crowds here come to hear, not to chatter, and the staff keeps everything running smooth without ever killing the vibe. They’re also relentless champions of local artists and up‑and‑coming touring acts—exactly the kind of voices that too many venues have squeezed out. On any given week you can catch a hometown record‑release show, a buzzy indie outfit on their first big run, or a genre‑bending bill you never knew you needed. Add in a laid‑back bar stocked with local drafts and the taqueria in the back (seriously, grab a taco between sets) and you’ve got the perfect night out. In short: if you’re a music lover who craves discovery, community, and consistently stellar shows, The Grey Eagle is the best game in town—full stop. Asheville is lucky to have it, and so am I.

1. Loved their tacos so brought my boyfriend for a late lunch. They had a guy playing music on stage and there were a couple people in the performance area. We were told we had to eat outside instead of in the dining area - because we weren't supposed to hear the performer. 2. My leather purse has straps. I was checking in for an event there and I was told I had to put my BACKPACK in my car or leave it at the desk. HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE.

Simply put, this venue was the best ever. The staff is exceptional. They went above and beyond to be as accommodating as possible for my wife and I because of our health issues. They truly made this night incredible! The stage and seating/standing room is small, which just makes the experience more intimate and amazing. There is a Taqueria inside which makes some of the most amazing, authentic food I've ever had. I would have seriously driven from Spartanburg South Carolina just to eat here! I know that I will be coming back as often as I can! I'd very highly recommend that if you want to have a magical night out with excellent food and music from the best staff around, you've got to come here!
